Your benefits are active for one year starting on the date of your gift. Before the anniversary of your gift, you will receive reminders to renew your support and continue enjoying your benefits.
Simply indicate on our giving form that you would like to decline benefits or include a note with your check. Declining benefits makes your gift 100% tax deductible. If you would like to decline benefits but have already made a gift, please email SupportSTC@ShakespeareTheatre.org.

Although benefits are not transferable, we consider the primary residents of a household as eligible for the perks of your gift. All our special event invitations include two tickets. If you would like to update your Bard Card with both partners’ names, please contact SupportSTC@ShakespeareTheatre.org.
Of course! This feature is coming soon to the website. For now, please include a note with your contribution on the online giving form or with your check. We will notify your honoree that someone has made a gift in their honor.
